The cruelest place || a miraculous fanfic || DISCONTINUED

School

School was cancelled on Wednesday because of the akuma attack.

Marinette was glad.

She had a meeting with principal Damocles the day before- her parents had informed her.

Marinette was sure that her parents hated her.

They spoke to her with a bitterness that she had never heard before.

They treated her like a bully.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

She walked out of the bakery, saying a quick goodbye to her parents, before crossing the road to get to school.

She wished that a car could just hit her.

Then her pain would be over.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

She entered the locker room, and felt something being snatched from her bag

Her sketchbook.

She turned around to see alya, Kim, alix, max and Lila (who was crying fake tears) holding her sketchbook in a way that could rip it.

"Alya give me back my sketchbook" she said calmly, but deep down inside, fury was bubbling inside of her.

"Your sketchbook? Please don't lie. We know you stole it from Lila - taking credit for her creations" alya snarled at me.

"What are you talking about? You know full well those are mine"

"STOP LYING!"

*tear*

I looked down to see my life's work ripped into two pieces.

"Wow that was low" I commented, before going out of the classroom and leaving them staring at me, wondering why I wasn't more upset.

I had no more feelings left.

I'd run out of tears.

Life was cruel enough.

I WANT TO DIE!

Lila's pov

I was frustrated.

Why weren't these things bothering her?!

I'd just got her 'friends' to rip up her lives work!

I'd turned everyone against her!

She's....different

Somethings changed.

It's like she's.......emotionless?!

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Adrien's pov

I was still shocked about what ladybug had told me yesterday

Lila had lied about being ladybug

It was so painfully obvious.

After I'd gotten warned about my last chance with my miraculous by ladybug, I went over to the dupain-cheng bakery.

I was worried in a way...

What if she wasn't a bully?

The thought had occurred to me once or twice.

But the picture......it looked so real.

I arrived at her balcony, trying carefully not to be heard.

I peered into her room from the glass door that led up to where I was standing.

What I saw shocked me.

Blood everywhere.

A knife.

I saw marinette carving things into her arm.

I could barely read them...

Fat?
Ugly?
Slut......

I felt a wave of guilt wash over me......I caused this.

I played a huge part in what could potentially drive a teenage girl to self harm and maybe even worse things.

I was responsible...

I had to talk to her at school tomorrow....

The next day
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I hurried up the steps of my school and into the class locker room.

And there I saw it.

I hid behind a row of lockers, trying to avoid detection.

I saw alya, Kim, alix, max and Lila in a small crowd around marinette.

They had her sketchbook

I watched them rip it in half.

But something was off.

I saw no emotion in marinettes eyes.

They were duller and glazed over like she was just an empty shell of a human being.

I just heard her say "Wow that was low" and walk out of the locker room like she was on her way to class.

The people there were in shock.

So was I.

Who had replaced the old marinette?

Although it was only for a second, I saw a flicker of anger cross lila's face, and that made me certain that she wanted to ruin marinettes life, and was succeeding at it.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I slipped unnoticed through the locker room doors and followed marinette into the unisex bathrooms.

I hid behind a wall so that I could see her, but she couldn't see me

To my horror, she pulled out the knife from last night and started cutting into her skin again.

This time, I witnessed her carve the words talentless and stupid into her skin.

It pained me to see her like this, but as much as I wanted to help her, I couldn't move.

Hi there! It's nxllla (aka nxlla.c),
I hope you liked this chapter, because it took a lot of emotional strength to write this, because even though I hate to see marinette in pain, I continue writing this type of stuff. Arghhh I think I've got writers block now.
Thanks for reading!
